+From d9f275bd09f4dd4c26c23cc2c09008abe8b13cf1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Ludovic Henry <git@ludovic.dev>

+Subject: [PATCH] Ship the licence of the bundled libev in the wheel
+
+cassandra.io.libevwrapper links libev dynamically, so auditwheel copies the
+system libev.so.4 into cassandra_driver.libs/ and rewrites the extension's
+RPATH to it: every manylinux wheel redistributes libev in binary form. libev
+is dual-licensed BSD-2-Clause OR GPL-2.0-or-later and its BSD terms require
+the copyright notice to travel with the binary, but the wheel carries only the
+driver's own Apache-2.0 LICENSE.
+
+pyproject.toml sets an explicit license-files = ["LICENSE"], which turns off
+setuptools' default LICEN[CS]E* root glob, so adding the file alone is not
+enough - the list is the complete set once the key is present (CLAUDE.md
+gotcha 105/57). Add LICENSE.libev with the notice from libev 4.33, the version
+the manylinux images package, and extend the list to cover it.
+
+Upstream-Status: To upstream [not yet submitted; this port may only touch riseproject-dev/python-wheels]
